    6N2P-EB tubes  and  Decware SE34i integrated with ...   As I've written in previous pages my phono stage doesn't have enough gain (39db) to give me the volume I desire. (Cambridge 551p)   I ordered a few 6N2P-EB  tubes from Moscow and received them yesterday. Well that extra 2Db of gain has...

    Update on my newly purchased Decware SE34i.5 integrated.  This amplifier has made my Klipsch Quartets sparkle. Blacker background, Classical music has better instrument seperation, I actually enjoy violins now. Better tone to instruments.  Midrange is very very good. I prefer instruments to...

    My new Decware SE34i.5 unpacked.  Had it running for a while last night and most of the day today. Was running a Mapletree 2A SE preamp and a HK Citation 19 power amp. (100w. RMS ). Pushing my Klipsch Quartets with 6 watts does sound just fine thru my cd player, there is enough oomph even for...

    Original from Frimpy....   "Would like to upgrade PHONO STAGE from Cambridge 551P any ideas. Can't financially do a Decware phono pre at this time, $500 or under any ideas.                                          Audio decisions can be tough, get less expensive phono pre now or wait and save...

    I will post pic's for sure. Thanks for the reminder.   If anyone is interested I'll be selling my Mapletree 2A Se line preamplifier (with many extra tubes) shortly after the Decware amp arrives. Will have to do a shootout 1st between the Mapletree and my Harman Kardon Citation 19 and the...

    Sorry, at the time I was only interested in the Mini Torii so that is the only amplifier I listened to. Steve D. said that all of amplifiers sound the same, you can call him and ask. A pre-amp wasn't used the mini torii was used like an integrated amplifier. Anything else? I am glad to try and...

    I visited the Deware plant in E. Peoria last month and boy was that a treat. Spent 5 hours listening to Decware speakers powered by a Mini Torii. Everything was going well, I was trying to decide on what speakers I liked best when Steve put on the Decware corner horns. Well Pink Floyd happened...

    thanks for posting the SE34I.3 manual link, was a great read for us intertesting in Decware amps. Does anybody know of any synergy between Decware amps and Decware speakers. Like I stated previously I'll be going there in 2 weeks to get a hands on viewing of Decwares wares.

    I'd really like to purchase one of his Zen amp and a pair of MG 944 speakers. Have to try and get there to hear and see his equipment and then figure out how o get the funding. Have been having fun buying and selling equipment but its getting expensive.

    I'mnot sure what Steve does do himself. From what I can tell is that he is not afraid to share information. He'll sell you an amp or you can go to the Decware site to DIY and see about building your own from his plans. I'm unsure if I should DIY a decware clone or purchase one of his amps.

    My Impressions of the Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge

    Using Ortogfon 2M Red with my Sansui SR 636 ( just out of month balls) and a Cambridge 551 P outboard phono amp. Could not be happier with this setup. The Sansui is more laid back than a Technics SL-B1 I has previously. Needle Doctor advised me on the Ortofon Red and I'm happy they did.
